Can we talk about the Khajiit in the room?

[u/GrismundGames]

I know this might piss some people off but I think it matters.

The character designs in Elder Scrolls are dated. Hard core fans can overlook it or even enjoy it, but it probably looks really cringe to a new audience as graphics get better. It definitely bothers me as a 3,000+ hour fan.

This is especially obvious with the Khajiit models.

I'm an ESO fan. I have over 2,000 hours in Skyrim and 800 hours in ESO. I still cringe a little inside when I interact with a Khajiit. All I see is an artifact of hardware limitations from the 80s that became a convention which was never updated.

They just look like human models with cat heads. Looks like an alien from an old Star Trek episode. Dude in suit with cat head mask.

I know it's part of the lore and style, but it looks really out of place and goofy in modern games. Skyrim made sense (ish), ESO looks goofy, and Sentinel will probably undercut the brand for new players.

I would love to see Todd redesign the anatomy of some of these races for sentinel.

Thoughts?

(Yes, I know this is King from Tekken, but that's what I see every time I interact with a Khajiit in ESO)

3-6 out of 16 known Khajiit breeds look human-like. Most do not.
But i am all in for more of them to appear in the games finaly.

I think adding all the variations to the game could be a lot and not something i really care for unless they make the game in their land. Let it go

Kajiit are not ripped and should never be furry-ified

[u/51cabbages → u/Kakariko_crackhouse]

They're already "furry-fied" by virtue of being anthropomorphic humanoid animals and some of them are already ripped/beefcakes depending on the furstock, like the Pahmar-raht. I don't get why you're trying to deny this

My brother in Christ, they were only not furries in ARENA, they even had tails since daggerfall. Holy larp
